Installing any of these host adapters in your PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express
system allows you to connect up to 15 SCSI devices per channel over a
SCSI bus. The LSI20320L-R is designed with a bracket that is suitable
for low profile applications.
To achieve Ultra320 SCSI performance, you must connect only
Low Voltage Differential (LVD) devices to the host adapter. If you connect
single-ended (SE) devices and LVD devices, the entire bus drops to the
lower SE speed, limiting bus performance to Ultra SCSI.
The Ultra320 SCSI host adapters support all major operating systems
(OS), such as Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, 2003, and XP), Linux, NetWare,
UnixWare, SCO OpenServer 5.x, and Solaris SPARC. Other software
support includes SureLINK™ Domain Validation, which ensures
data integrity by intelligently testing the SCSI interconnect before
completing negotiation.
The Ultra320 SCSI host adapters utilize Fusion-MPT™ architecture for
all major operating systems, which allows for thinner drivers and better
performance. To obtain a device driver that supports your operating
system, contact the LSI Logic technical support team at 800-633-4545
or visit the LSI Logic web site at http://www.lsilogic.com.

2.2 SCSI Device Cables
For reliable Ultra320 operation, be sure to use an Ultra320-rated SCSI
device cable. The internal Ultra320 SCSI device cable also has built-in
low voltage differential (LVD) and single-ended termination. This built-in
feature is included because most LVD SCSI hard disk drives are not
made with on-board low voltage differential termination.
2.2.1 Internal SCSI Cables
You can connect all internal SCSI devices to the host adapter with an
unshielded, twisted pair, 68-pin ribbon cable. Some 68-pin internal SCSI
cables come with a low voltage differential and single-ended terminator
on one end, which must be farthest from the host adapter. Figure 2.3 and
Figure 2.4 show internal SCSI cables with and without a terminator.

2.3 Connecting SCSI Devices
This section explains how to connect internal and external SCSI devices
to the Ultra320 SCSI host adapters.
2.3.1 Connecting Internal SCSI Devices
This subsection provides step-by-step instructions for connecting internal
SCSI devices. The figures show the LSI22320 host adapter, which has
two internal connectors and two external connectors. Other Ultra320
SCSI host adapter models have different numbers of connectors. Refer
to Section 2.2.1, “Internal SCSI Cables,” on page 2-5 for examples of
internal cables. Follow these steps for making connections:
Step 1. Plug the 68-pin connector on the end of the SCSI ribbon
cable into the internal connector on the host adapter, as
Figure 2.8 shows.

Step 2. Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the internal SCSI
ribbon cable into the SCSI connector on the internal SCSI
device, as Figure 2.9 shows.
Figure 2.9
Connecting Multiple Internal SCSI Devices
.
Step 3. If you have another internal SCSI device, connect the internal
SCSI ribbon cable to it, as Figure 2.9 shows. You can connect
other devices if the cable has more connectors. The Ultra320
SCSI host adapters support up to 15 SCSI devices connected
to each SCSI channel.
Step 4. Be sure that termination is enabled at the end of the cable that
is farthest away from the SCSI host adapter. Refer to
Section 2.4, “Terminating the SCSI Bus,” on page 2-12 for
details on SCSI bus termination.

2.3.2 Connecting the LED Cable
Most computer cabinets have a front panel LED. When properly connected,
the front panel LED lights up when there is activity on the SCSI bus.
Connect the LED cable to connector J5 on the host adapter, as
Figure 2.10 shows. Connector J5 is not keyed.
Figure 2.10 SCSI LED Connector

LED Connector J5
Left two pins are for Channel A
Right two pins are for Channel B
The orientation of the LED cable does not matter as long as all four pins
are connected. If the LED does not light up during SCSI bus activity from
this host adapter, you may have to rotate the LED cable connector
180 degrees on J5.
If the LED cable has only two wires, place the connector on one end or
the other of J5. If the LED does not light up when there is SCSI activity,
move the connector to the other half of J5.

SCSI devices. Refer to Section 2.2.2, “External SCSI Cable,” on page 2-5
for examples of external cables.
Step 1. Plug the 68-pin connector on one end of a shielded external
SCSI cable into the host adapter’s external SCSI connector.
This connector is exposed on the back panel of your computer.
Step 2. Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the shielded
external SCSI cable into the SCSI connector on the first
external SCSI device.
Figure 2.11 shows how to connect a single external SCSI device.
If you have the correct cable, it matches the external connector.

Step 3. Connect any additional SCSI devices to one another with
shielded external SCSI cables. You need a separate SCSI
cable for each additional device.
Figure 2.12 shows how to connect multiple external SCSI
devices.

Step 4. Be sure that termination is enabled only on the last external
SCSI device, as Figure 2.12 shows. Refer to Section 2.4,
“Terminating the SCSI Bus,” on page 2-12 for details on SCSI
bus termination.

2.4 Terminating the SCSI Bus
The SCSI bus contains all the devices that you connect with SCSI cables.
When you connect the first and last physical SCSI devices on the ends
of the SCSI bus, you must have termination active. You must remove or
disable termination on all other SCSI devices on the same bus.
If you connect only internal SCSI devices on a bus, the host adapter
automatically terminates itself. If you connect only external SCSI devices
on a bus, the host adapter also terminates automatically. Automatic
termination occurs because the host adapter connection is at the end of
the SCSI bus. If you connect both internal and external SCSI devices on
a bus, the host adapter automatically disables its termination. This
occurs because the host adapter is in the middle of the SCSI bus.
Termination for host adapters with only one connector per channel is
always enabled for the channel.

2.5 Setting SCSI IDs
SCSI IDs identify each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. Each SCSI ID on
a given bus must be unique. The IDs are 0–15 for a 16-bit bus. The
preset host adapter ID setting is 7, which gives the highest priority to the
host adapter.
Typically, you set the SCSI ID of the SCSI device with jumpers or with a
switch on the device. You must not duplicate SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.
LSI Logic recommends that you record the SCSI IDs of all SCSI devices.
Table 2.1 provides a place to keep this record.

2.7 Setting Up Integrated RAID (IR) Solution
The ‘‘R’’ at the end of a host adapter name indicates the board supports
the Integrated RAID solution. The Integrated RAID solution provides cost
benefits for the server or workstation market where the extra performance,
storage capacity, and/or redundancy of a RAID configuration are required.
The two components of the Integrated RAID solution are:
•
Integrated Mirroring™ (IM) solution, which provides features of
RAID 1 and RAID 1E
•
Integrated Striping™ (IS) solution, which provides features of RAID 0
By simplifying the IM and IS options and by providing firmware support
in its host adapters, LSI Logic can offer the Integrated RAID solution at
a lower cost than a dedicated processor based RAID implementation.
The Fusion-MPT Common Information Model (CIM) interface software
continuously monitors IM volumes and IS volumes, and reports status
and error conditions as they arise.
IM and IS are supported by different versions of the Fusion-MPT
firmware. Therefore, either IM or IS can be implemented on a system
with a Fusion-MPT based host adapter, but IM and IS cannot be used
concurrently on the same system.
The Fusion-MPT BIOS Configuration Utility (CU) configures the IM or IS
volume, which can use from two to six disk drives. The BIOS and drivers
support SCSI Domain Validation. Host-based CIM software monitors the
state of the physical disks and reports error conditions as they arise.
2.7.1 Integrated Mirroring (IM) Solution
As a result of the shift toward Network Attached Storage (NAS), ISPs
need a cost effective, fault-tolerant solution to protect the operating
systems on small form factor, high-density, rack-mountable servers. The
Integrated Mirroring (IM) solution provides data protection for the system
boot volume to safeguard critical information such as the OS on servers
and high performance workstations. This new Integrated Mirroring
solution gives customers a robust, high-performance, fault-tolerant
solution that is less expensive than a dedicated RAID controller.

2.7.2 Integrated Striping (IS) Solution
The Integrated Striping (IS) solution is targeted at applications that
require the faster performance and increased storage capacity of
striping. The IS solution is a low-cost solution with many of the features
of a more expensive RAID striping solution. A single IS logical drive may
be configured as the boot disk or as a data disk.
To set up the Integrated RAID (IM and IS) features, refer to the Integrated
RAID User’s Guide.

BIOS on the host adapter acts as an extension of the system BIOS.
Configuration
Refers to the way a computer is set up; the combined hardware
components (computer, monitor, keyboard, and peripheral devices) that
make up a computer system; or the software settings that allow the
hardware components to communicate with each other.
Device Driver
A program that allows a microprocessor (through the operating system)
to direct the operation of a peripheral device, such as a disk drive.
Domain
Validation
A software procedure in which a host queries a device to determine its
ability to communicate at the negotiated data rate.
EEPROM
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. A memory
chip that typically stores configuration information.
External SCSI
Device
A SCSI device installed outside the computer cabinet. These devices are
connected together using specific types of shielded cables.
Fusion-MPT
Architecture
Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture consists of
several main elements: Fusion-MPT firmware, the Fibre Channel and
SCSI hardware, and the operating system level drivers that support these
architectures. Fusion-MPT architecture offers a single binary, operating
system driver that supports both Fibre Channel and SCSI devices.

A-1
Host
The computer system in which a SCSI host adapter is installed. It uses
the SCSI host adapter to transfer information to and from devices
attached to the SCSI bus.
Host Adapter
A circuit board or integrated circuit that provides a device connection to
the host.
Integrated RAID
(IR)
The LSI Logic Integrated RAID solution provides either the
Integrated Mirroring (IM) solution, which provides features of RAID 1 and
RAID 1E, or the Integrated Striping (IS) solution, which provides features
of RAID 0.
Integrated
Mirroring (IM)
The LSI Logic Integrated Mirroring (IM) solution provides features of
RAID 1 and RAID 1E. The IM feature provides data protection for the
system boot volume to safeguard critical information such as the
operating system on servers and high performance workstations. The IM
feature gives customers a robust, high-performance, fault-tolerant
solution that is less expensive than a dedicated RAID controller.
Integrated
Striping (IS)
The LSI Logic Integrated Striping (IS) solution provides features of RAID
0. The IS feature is a low-cost solution with many of the features of a
more expensive RAID striping solution. A single IS logical drive may be
configured as the boot disk or as a data disk.
Internal SCSI
Device
A SCSI device installed inside the computer cabinet. These devices are
connected to one another with an unshielded ribbon cable.
PCI and PCI-X
Peripheral Component Interconnect. A high performance local bus
specification that allows connection of devices directly to computer
memory. The PCI Local Bus allows transparent upgrades from a 32-bit
data path at 33 MHz to a 64-bit data path at 33 MHz; from a 32-bit data
path at 66 MHz to a 64-bit data path at 66 MHz; and from a 32-bit data
path at 133 MHz to a 64-bit data path at 133 MHz (1064 Mbytes/s peak).
PCI Express
PCI Express is the third generation high performance I/O bus that
interconnects peripheral devices. PCI Express replaces parallel PCI bus
with a highly scalable, fully serial interface. PCI Express takes advantage
of recent advances in point-to-point interconnects, switchbased technology,
and packetized protocol to deliver new levels of performance and features.
Peripheral
Device
A piece of hardware (such as a disk drive, printer, or CD-ROM) used with
a computer and under the computer’s control. SCSI peripheral devices
are controlled through a SCSI host adapter.

RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks. An array of multiple independent
hard disk drives that yields better performance than a Single Large
Expensive Disk (SLED). A RAID disk subsystem improves I/O
performance on a server using only a single drive. The RAID array
appears to the host server as a single storage unit. I/O is expedited
because several disks can be accessed simultaneously.
RAID 0
Provides block “striping” across multiple drives, yielding higher
performance than is possible with individual drives. This level does not
provide any redundancy.
RAID 1
Drives are paired and mirrored. All data is 100 percent duplicated on a
drive of equivalent size.
SCSI Bus
A host adapter and one or more SCSI devices connected by cables in a
linear configuration. The host adapter may exist anywhere on the bus,
allowing connection of both internal and external SCSI devices. A system
may have more than one SCSI bus by using a multichannel host adapter
or by using multiple host adapters.
SCSI Device
Any device that conforms to the SCSI standard and is attached to the
SCSI bus by a SCSI cable. This includes SCSI host adapters, SCSI disk
drives, SCSI CD-ROM drives, and so on.
SCSI ID
An identifier that addresses specific devices on the SCSI bus and
determines device selection when multiple devices contend for ownership
of the SCSI bus. Wide SCSI buses support SCSI IDs 0–15, and narrow
SCSI buses support SCSI IDs 0–7. A device gains ownership of the bus
according to the priority of its SCSI ID. The order of priority, from highest
to lowest, is: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8. The host
adapter is usually set to the highest priority SCSI ID, which is SCSI ID 7.
Single-Ended
SCSI
A hardware specification for connecting SCSI devices. It references each
SCSI signal to a common ground. In contrast, differential SCSI uses a
separate ground for each signal.
SureLINK
The domain validation method developed and used by LSI Logic.
SureLINK Domain Validation provides three levels of integrity checking:
Basic (level 1), Enhanced (level 2), and Margined (level 3).
Ultra SCSI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
20 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus and up to 40 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit
SCSI bus.

Ultra2 SCSI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
40 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus, and up to 80 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit
SCSI bus.
Ultra160 SCSI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
160 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit SCSI bus.
Ultra320 SCSI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
320 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit SCSI bus.
VHDCI
Very High Density Cable Interconnect. VHDCI cables connect external
SCSI devices to the host adapter.
